US - Gewinnen immer mehr Unterstützung im Sicherheitsrat:..

-->Americans officials are said to be reasonably confident that they can get three African votes on the Council - Angola, Guinea and Cameroon.

These votes, added to those of the US, UK, Spain and Bulgaria, would give seven to the supporters of the resolution.

However, nine of the 15 votes are needed to pass a resolution.

Mexico and Chile, the two Latin Americans, are more uncertain.

Rough times ahead

They are both suggesting that a Canadian plan to set Iraq a deadline of the end of March is worth considering. Pakistan's decision also remains in doubt.

Washington is also trying to detach Russia from the French and Germans.

The tactic seems to be to get the Russians to abstain at least.

That would leave the French with a possible dilemma if it was the only one of the permanent five members ready to wield the veto.

And it would be easier for Britain at least to join military action without a new resolution if the single veto came from the French.

It is getting rough in the Security Council and it could get rougher.

Man wagt das kaum noch zu kommentieren.. Melodie: 10 kleine Negerlein...
Wetten dürfen noch angenommen werden...
